ROZHDESTVENSKY v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2023] NZHC 1919
- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 1919
- Court
- High Court
There was a real and appreciable risk that a conviction would lead to termination of the appellant's role as co‑CEO and to significant collateral harm to the company's pre‑IPO and international business prospects; those consequences would be out of all proportion to the moderate gravity of the offending; fresh affidavit evidence was admissible; therefore discharge without conviction was warranted and the conviction and fine were quashed while the driving disqualification remained.
